From Trinidad to Triumph: Support My Howard Journey!

Greetings! My name is Shayla Joseph. I am a senior Nursing major, biology and chemistry double minor at Howard University. I’m a proud first-generation college student from Trinidad and Tobago. Getting to Howard has been one of the greatest accomplishments of my life—a dream I worked tirelessly for. As an international student, navigating this journey without a financial safety net has been incredibly challenging, but I’ve never let that stop me. I’m reaching out now with humility and hope, asking for your support to help me continue my education. I’ve come too far to give up now. Earning this degree isn’t just for me—it’s for my family, and every person watching me as proof that it’s possible.
